Ive secretly oiled my chain without wearing the required saftey gear and (whispering) i never waved.

....not if the other hand is having it all.

Yeah, amazing photos. Lucky guy, it wasn't all the fingies. +100 for posting it.

I though everyone just jacked the bike up & spun the wheel by hand, to clean/wipe the chain....or take it (chain) off to properly clean, if it's that grotty/gluggy.

Is kinda like "don't check (with bare hand) if your muffler is loose when out riding" (yes saw that one happen

) Ouch! Burnies!

So blood is better than kero or WD40 for cleaning a chain?

You are quite right. I know of 3 others who have lost bits of fingers doing that.

Still all is not lost, at least they will have a constant visual reminder as to how fucken stupid they really are for the rest of their lives.

jeeezus !!! just cleaned my chain tonight too, ready for a roadie to whakatane next week. I'm extra careful round the rear cog. I wouldn't even think about running my bike while on the paddock stand. Can't help but feel for the poor sod tho.

Tell me about it... I came off my Honda CB100 in the Hutt Valley - circa 1981 whilst try to fiddle about with my loose front fender - bolt snapped, fender rolled round under the front wheel. Use your imagination for the rest - luckily I was only going about 40kph. Still - I sat dazed on the kerb, after a local ran out to help me, waiting for my dad to come pick me up...
